My name is
Victoria Winters. The grey light of morning has come again to Collinwood, and
the strange sounds of the night should seem thousands of miles away. Yet I can
still hear it in my mind, the helpless crying that filled the shadows of the
great house on Widow’s Hill, crying that had drawn me down musty stairs to a
strange and forbidding door.
Matthew (recast) finds Vicki
in the basement. She says she’s looking for books for David. He assures her
they aren’t in the locked storeroom and points out where the books are.
He tries to get her to come
back up with him. She says she’ll come after she finds what she’s looking for,
some Rover Boys books David told her about. He says he doesn’t think Mrs.
Stoddard would like her being down there by herself.
Vicki asks if he really
believes that.
He’s never been there late
enough at night, but Josette is there. She cries.
Vicki tells him she heard it
the first night she was there.
He says she should stay in her
room when she hears that sobbing. He accuses her of snooping. She says she’s
just looking for books.
Liz calls down, asking if
Matthew is there. She wants him to come up so she can talk with him.
Carolyn arrives at the
restaurant and sees Burke. She wonders if he’s going to ask her to join him.
“It was safe enough last night
for Vicki Winters, wasn’t it?”
“That’s the second time you’ve
mentioned Miss Winters.”
“Miss Winters!” She had dinner
in his hotel room last night and he still doesn’t call her Vicki?
“I don’t think I will.”
“What?”
“Give you time.”
Liz gives Matthew a list of
supplies to get. Matthew doesn’t like Burke. Liz tells Matthew he didn’t do
anything to Roger. She tells him he
was responsible for the accident. Or at least that’s the story she wants him to
tell.
Then he tells her about Vicki
in the basement.
Liz goes down to confront
Vicki.
Vicki tells her she heard
crying last night, and she doesn’t believe in ghosts.
Liz shows her where the Rover
Boys books are.
Burke questions Carolyn about
Sam Evans, but she doesn’t know anything. He asks her if she’s nervous about
something. She says she’s not. They have more coffee. She offers to be his tour
guide for things that have been added to the Collinsport area since he’s been
away.
He can’t. He has an
appointment to get his portrait painted. He wants to know if she always makes
friends with her family’s enemies.
She says he’s no one’s enemy.
She asks to go along with him to Bangor for his business appointment. They
could have lunch. She tells him she’s not a little girl.
“Maybe not. But you don’t have
to make a point of proving it.”
She thinks that’s nasty and
uncalled for. She still expects him to call her, though.
And she leaves her ring on the table.
And she leaves her ring on the table.
Matthew comes to the
restaurant. Burke recognizes him. Matthew remembers Burke too. He warns Burke
that if he brings any trouble to Mrs. Stoddard, he will kill him.
Even if they ask for trouble?
Burke wants to know.
Carolyn comes home. She lends Vicki a pen.
She tells Vicki she left her ring somewhere and is hoping to get a phone call from someone returning it, and that she may be taking a trip to Bangor.

Vicki asks her about the
sobbing.
Carolyn admits that, yes, she’s heard the ghost lady, on and off for most of her life.

Carolyn goes to change.
Liz gives Vicki the key to the storeroom and tells her to check for herself.
Vicki says it won’t be necessary.
